Third Eye Retroscope Randomized Clinical Evaluation
A study testing Third Eye Retroscope in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Avantis Medical Systems at 9 sites in 5 countries.
Trial summary
The Third Eye® Retroscope® is a device that can be inserted through the instrument channel of a standard colonoscope to provide an additional, retrograde (or backward) view that reveals areas behind folds and flexures in the colon, and might detect additional polyps that cannot be seen with the colonoscope alone.

About this study
Official title: Third Eye Retroscope Randomized Clinical Evaluation (The "TERRACE" Study)
The Third Eye® Retroscope® is a device that can be inserted through the instrument channel of a standard colonoscope to provide an additional, retrograde (or backward) view that reveals areas behind folds and flexures in the colon, and might detect additional polyps that cannot be seen with the colonoscope alone.
Patients who participate as subjects in the study will undergo two complete colonoscopy procedures, a standard colonoscopy and a colonoscopy in which a Third Eye Retroscope is used along with the same colonoscope. Half of the patients will have the standard colonoscopy first followed by the Third Eye colonoscopy, and the other half will have the Third Eye procedure first.
Results from the two groups will be analyzed and compared to determine the effectiveness of the Third Eye Retroscope for detecting additional adenomas and other polyps compared with the standard colonoscope alone.
Read the detailed description
Colonoscopy is generally agreed to be the best method for detecting and removing pre-cancerous polyps, but some lesions can be missed, especially if they are located behind folds in the lining of the colon or behind flexures (sharp bends) in the colon.
The Third Eye® Retroscope® is a device that can be inserted through the instrument channel of a standard colonoscope to provide an additional, retrograde (or backward) view that reveals areas behind folds and flexures in the colon. Previous studies have shown the device to be effective for detecting additional polyps that could not have been seen with the colonoscope alone.
The purpose of this research is to compare the additional diagnostic yield obtained by using the Third Eye® Retroscope® vs. the diagnostic yield for the standard colonoscope alone in the context of a randomized, controlled study design.
Patients who are scheduled for colonoscopy will be recruited to the study and randomized to one of two groups. Each patient will undergo two "back-to-back" procedures.
Patients in Group A (study group) will undergo a standard colonoscopy followed immediately by a Third Eye colonoscopy.
Patients in Group B (control group) will undergo a Third Eye colonoscopy followed immediately by a standard colonoscopy.
Results from the two groups will be analyzed and compared to determine the effectiveness of the Third Eye Retroscope for detecting additional adenomas and other polyps compared with the standard colonoscope alone.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Detection Rates for Adenomas and for Total Polyps
Numbers of polyps and adenomas detected in first and second procedures for each group
Measured: Acute - subjects were followed for the duration of the procedures, an average of 40 minutes.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Times for Withdrawal Phase and for Complete Procedure
For all examinations with each method (SC or TEC), mean time for withdrawal phase and mean time for total procedure
Measured: Acute - subjects were followed for the duration of the procedures, an average of 40 minutes.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites in United States, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Oct 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Detection Rates for Adenomas and for Total Polyps (time frame: Acute - subjects were followed for the duration of the procedures, an average of 40 minutes.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01044732, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2017.
